Break it to me gently, let me down that easy way 
Make me feel you still love me if it's just, just for one more day 
Break it to me gently so my tears, my tears won't fall too fast 
If you must go, then go slowly, let me love you 'till then 

The love we've shared oh so long, it's a tender part of me 
If you must take your love away, take it gradually 

And break it to me gently, give me time, oh give me a little time to ease the pain 
If you must go, then go slowly, 'cause I'll never love again 

If you must take your love away, take it gradually  

And break it to me gently 
Give me time, oh give me a little time to ease the pain 
Love me just a little longer, 'cause I'll never, never love again 
'Cause I'll never, no never love again...ooh
